CLUB INTERACT, PARTY PLANNING HEADQUARTERS
By Suzi Wakatsuki
Looking for community service?
It seems as if everyone could always do with a bit more. If this
is starting to sound like the story of your life, Club Interact
is just the place for you.
But what, exactly, is Club Interact, you might ask? Club Interact
is a club headed by senior Justin Klein that focuses on giving
back to the community via volunteer work. Not only does this club
provide volunteer opportunities, it also plans and executes service-based
events of their own. Take for example, the upcoming senior citizen
dance on February 13 at Los Gatos Meadows. With a 3:00pm starting
time, Valentine’s Day won’t be heralded in on the
wings of Cupid and his minions, but rather with the help of Club
Interact and their numerous hard working volunteers.
Hard working doesn’t even describe the work done by these
steadfast people. They have been planning this event since the
initiation of the club last year. The dance is held the day before
the renowned Love Holiday, and Valentine’s Day is the theme
for this dance. The decorations will reflect the theme and create
a mood of love and laughter. It won’t be hard to imagine
a flurry of pinks, whites and reds adorning the dance room, and
with the live music (compliments of several Valley Christian volunteer
band members) the atmosphere will be heightened by the presence
of Cupid. Food will be provided by the Los Gatos Meadow’s
personnel (as delicate health and fragile diets need to be taken
into consideration) and several games and crafts will be available
for those who wish to watch the dancing rather than participate.
The funds needed to finance such an event were raised last year
through a massive bake sale. Klein is emphatic that this event
will be the best event that they have been involved with yet.
“I know this dance will be a rockin’ success!”
Judging by past displays by Club Interact, little doubt remains
as to the success of the dance. Previously they have marched in
the San Jose Christmas Parade, held on December 5. Best of luck
to you and your endeavors to obtain community service!
